Friends of Freeman

Who are we?
The Friends of Freeman School is run by parents and staff of Freeman Community Primary School. We aim to raise funds for the school whilst having fun!

What we do, why do we do it and who benefits?
We meet regularly to discuss ways we can raise new funds for our schools. We are always open to new ideas. In the past, we’ve raised around £2000 - £3000 per year by running events such as our Christmas & Summer Fairs, Discos, Chocolate Bingo and used it to fund items like the following for the schools:

Play equipment for the playground

Helped Santa to buy iPads for the classrooms

Contribution toward transport for a class trips

Class presents at special times of the year

Helped to buy a wet-play canopy for EYU

Contribution towards gazebos

What are we hoping to achieve next?
Each year, the school give us a wish list that we consider as a group. Check back later for this year's list.

What kind of help do we need?
We would love you to get involved! We want to work together to try and enrich the school environment for our children and for the future. We hope that our new volunteers can bring diversity and different perspectives to our group. Some of the benefits to you and our schools are:
